My brother-in-law

My brother-in-law is always having interesting things happen to him. He's an earthy, low-impact type of fellow who hates spending money. The vegetable garden he was trying to grow on his porch wasn't doing so well, and he was almost thinking he was going to have to go out and buy some fertilizer. The next day, 12 police cars showed up at the garage next door and busted a major grow-op. They hauled off 300 plants. His wheeling-and-dealing roommate made a deal with the unfortunate landlord of the grow-op building to clean the place up for a tidy sum. Among the hyrdoponics and lighting systems was 15 bags of fertilizer. My brother-in-a-law got a free bag from his roomie, and his porchtop vegetable garden is doing much better.

About

I'm an intranet consultant living in Nelson, BC. My company is One Intranets Inc. I'm the co-creator of ThoughtFarmer, social intranet software that powers enterprise intranets in Microsoft environments. I've been consulting on web and intranet projects since 1995 with a particular emphasis on interface design, information architecture and usability analysis.

I live with my wife, Gina, and our three children, Ana (age 7), Sam (age 5), and Reuben (age 1). Gina is my best friend and the absolute bestest wife a man could ever find. Ana is the most hospitable and intuitive 7-year old you'll ever meet. Sam accosts strangers on the street and engages them in deep conversation. Reuben walks from room to room and creates disasters, washing his hands in the toilet, lifting cats by the tail and eating things he finds in the kitchen garbage.

When I'm not working I'm playing with my family: golf, swimming, snorkeling, hockey, skiing and extreme travel. We're currently escaping winter with a 4-month stint in St. Lucia, West Indies.
